Sgaradh – Separation

Twisted Rib fingerless mitts with a cable up the centre of the back of the wrist and splitting to either side of the handAlthough I’m currently sitting here in the sunshine, Storm Ali yesterday suddenly made winter seem awfully close and I’m really glad I have my new mitts ready to wear! Meaning separation in Scottish Gaelic, the cable makes me think of a river which has split to go around an obstacle and diverges off to opposite sides of the glove. I bought the yarn for this pattern (Eden Cottage Yarns Hayton 4 ply) at Edinburgh Yarn Fest and I’ve been looking forward to making it into mitts as soon as I bought it.

Cherry Leaves

I have loved this lace pattern for a long time. The original is in the book with the two sets of leaves facing each other across a central spine. As well as being pretty wide, the stitch count of the pattern varies over the pattern repeat. This makes it hard to use in your average

Mosaic and Lace

Ever since I made Breigichean I’ve been looking for the chance to do more mosaic knitting. I really loved this pattern in particular, so I was on the lookout for ways to use it! So when I was looking for an idea for my June design, this was the perfect place to start! I went

Lace Twill

I have been looking forward so much to knitting more shortie socks – they’re all the fun parts of knitting socks (toes and heels) with none of the boring bits (the leg!) I knew I wanted something lacy because we’re thinking summery and I added the rib to give the edges a little more stability.
